Divine mercy Novena: Fourth Day: "Today bring to Me Those Who Do Not Believe In God and Those Who Do Not Yet Know Me. "

Fourth Day
"Today bring to Me Those Who Do Not Believe In God and Those Who Do Not Yet Know Me. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy."

Most Compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Proverb 1/4: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; wisdom and instruction fools despise."
Knowing God is so vital to live to the maximum potential. It is the knowledge of God makes one to find their purpose in their life in all the stage and situations. Knowledge of God is the beginning of any wisdom. Living in this world without the knowing the God is equal to leading a lonely life in a desert, where one is exposed to all the elements with no defense. Or it could be compared to travel in a slippery dark path with out light or guidance. It could be wading in deep ocean with out any help exposed to all kinds of dangers. One who leads the life without knowing God's mercy and love is a heart broken person left without any consolation. One who leads the life with out knowing the grace of God is like a plant on a rock, when the sun comes hot it will vanish with out the water in root. The life without the knowledge of God's presence will be like a plant on the walkway, where it will be stamped and trampled by all who walk on it without any protection. The life without realizing God's presence will be like the plants among the thorns, where thorns take over the peace and fruits of the plant. But the person who lead the life with the knowledge and conscience of God's presence will be like a plant planted and protected in a fertile soil, where it is cared and nurtured to grow and multiply, and fulfill the purpose of its life with 30%, 60%, and 100% fruits.

It is so important to pray for the conversion of souls who reject god, because these prayers have the power to change their heart by appealing to their restless souls. It is also the responsibility of those who have the knowledge of God to share the knowledge with those who do not know Him , so that they get an opportunity to hear about God, while the choice to choose God in their life is absolutely remains with them. It is vital and imperative to pray for those who do not know god or refuse God's presence in this world, because they are empty vessels and their soul is void of God's presence which is at the danger of falling in the hands of the enemy. So it is important to pray for their protection from the enemy. Let us unite our heart and minds with Immaculate heart of Mary in prayers to the Holy Spirit, because conversion of souls belongs to Him. Let us also ask forgiveness in prayers for our negligence to acknowledge and glorify God in our life situations.


Psalms
Chapter 135

1
Hallelujah! 1 Praise the name of the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD,
2
Who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God!
3
Praise the LORD; the LORD is good! Sing to God's name; it is gracious!
4
2 For the LORD has chosen Jacob, Israel as a treasured possession.
5
I know that the LORD is great, our Lord is greater than all gods.
6
Whatever the LORD wishes he does in heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the deeps.
7
He raises storm clouds from the end of the earth, makes lightning and rain, brings forth wind from the storehouse.
8
He struck down Egypt's firstborn, human and beast alike,
9
And sent signs and portents against you, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10
The Lord struck down many nations, slew mighty kings--
11
Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, all the kings of Canaan--
12
And made their land a heritage, a heritage for Israel his people.
13
O LORD, your name is forever, your renown, from age to age!
14
For the LORD defends his people, shows mercy to his servants.
15
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
16
They have mouths but speak not; they have eyes but see not;
17
They have ears but hear not; no breath is in their mouths.
18
Their makers shall be like them, all who trust in them.
19
House of Israel, bless the LORD! House of Aaron, bless the LORD!
20
House of Levi, bless the LORD! You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21
Blessed from Zion be the LORD, who dwells in Jerusalem! Hallelujah!

Soul of Christ Sanctify me,
Body of Christ Save me,
Blood of Christ Inebriate me,
water from the side of Christ, Wash me,
passion of Christ, strengthen me,
O good Jesus, Hear me,
within your wounds, hide me,
never let me be, separated from you,
from the wicked enemy, defend me,
in hour of my death, call me,
and bid me, come to you,
so that with your saints,
I may praise you ever and ever,
Amen!
